I could see maybe stretching the seat count to 168 by removing one row of F and inserting two rows of Y (160-4+12=168) and decreasing the amount of MCE rows. But I don't see how they could get to 174 seats. Because I doubt thay they would go to 8F on this aircraft. As it is the largest type in AA's fleet.

And about the 321s...
Does anyone know the procedures involved with shifting around the lavatories? Because somewhere in the past, I recall a poster mentioning that there is a lot of FAA bureacracy involved in doing such a change (as opposed to just adding-- or taking out-- a row of seats).
